본 논문에서는 주행 중 안전운전에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 운전자의 행동을 찾아 분석한 뒤 세분화 하여 분류하고, 주의분산을 유발하는 운전자의 운전행동 구분을 바탕으로 차량을 주행함에 있어 위험요소를 찾아내도록 한다. 이를 통해 향후 자동차사고를 줄이기 위한 제도개선 및 문제점 보완에 기여할 수 있다. 운전 중 운전자의 주의분산을 유발하는 디바이스가 늘어나는 상황에서 본 논문의 분석결과는 운전자의 필수적이지 않은 위험행동을 줄이도록 유도하는 방안을 모색할 수 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 최근 운전자 행동에 대한 연구 방법으로 매우 중요하게 대두되고 있는 운전 시뮬레이션 방법을 이용하여 운전자들이 보이는 기본적인 운전 수행 능력 및 이러한 운전 수행 능력과 관련이 가장 깊은 것으로 기존의 연구들이 밝혀왔던 기본적인 지각적/인지적/운동적 수행 능력을 측정하여 운전자 수행을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 특히 운전자의 운전 수행 및 운전과 관련된 기본적인 정신/운동 수행 능력은 정보 처리적 관점에서 측정되고 분석되었으며, 이를 통해 운전자들이 보이는 기본적인 정보처리 능력의 패턴에 대한 전반적 이해를 시도하였다. 본 연구에서는 기본적인 운전 수행 능력을 평가하는데 사용되는 차량의 속도 유지와 차선 유지에 대한 측정치와 더불어 운전과 관련한 인간 수행 중에서 단순 반응 능력, 선택 반응 능력, 속도 추정 능력, 청각적 주의나 시각적 주의의 분산 능력 등이 운전 시뮬레이션을 통하여 운전 중에 실시간으로 측정되었다. 본 연구에서 수집된 자료는 운전자들의 실제 운전 수행 및 이와 관련된 정보 처리 활동에 대한 표준화된 준거를 제시하는데 기초적 자료로 사용될 수 있으리라 생각된다.

For recent innovation of If technology and the beginning of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) service, it has been dramatically increased to setup TV system in a car for watching TV and receiving traffic Information. Watching TV while driving would distract a driver s cognitive and visual attention as eating food, operating the radio, using a cell phone. However, there is paucity of empirical researches and it is uncertain how watching TV in driving impacts on the driver's cognition in the concrete. Therefore, we surveyed domestic drivers on the attitude watching TV while driving as well as conducted experiments through a driving simulator. Especially, we recruited two groups of participants to explore the effects of watching TV on driving behavior. The result proved that the participants who watched TV while their driving had relatively narrower the attention span than the Participants who did not watch TV. Also, those who watched TV drove with less stability and more urgent operations of the brake and accelerator than those who did not watched TV Finally, we discussed limitations and implications of the study.

전기를 에너지원으로 사용하는 각 종 부하는 가정, 공장 및 상가 등에 널리 분산되어 있고, 여기에 전기를 생산 공급하는 발전기도 지역적으로 분산되어 병렬운전이 되고 있다. 새로운 발전기가 병렬운전에 참여하기 위해서는 기존 운전되고 있는 전력계통과의 전압, 주파수, 상회전, 위상이 일치하여야 한다. 만약 이들 조건이 갖추어지지 않은 상태에서 임의 병렬 접속을 시도하게 되면 해당 발전기는 물론 전체 계통에 충격과 손상을 초래할 수 있다. 양측의 전압과 주파수 비교는 상용 계측기를 사용하여 비교적 쉽게 할 수 있느나, 상회전 방향과 위상차의 판별에는 세심한 주의가 필요하다. 최근의 발전기에는 병렬 운전 조건을 자동으로 조정, 확인을 하는 장치를 채용하고 있으며 구체적인 회로구성과 동작원리를 여기에서 살펴보았다. 병렬 접속이 이루어진 후 발전기 별 전력 분담과, 계통 주파수 변동에 따라 자동으로 발전기 출력 제어가 이루어지는 기능이 터빈 조속기 측에 설정되어 사용된다.

운전 중에 주의를 분산시키는 요소는 대부분 인터페이스 조작에 있으며 교통사고의 직접적인 원인이 된다. 스마트 자동차에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 운전자 안전에 대한 다양한 연구가 모색되고 있다. 순간의 시선이동으로 인해 판단력과 조작능력을 상실 할 수 있는 현재의 인터페이스는 안전성이 보장 되지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 운전자의 주의를 분산시키는 요소로 부터 안전성을 확보하기 위해서 차량 내 카메라를 이용하여 손동작을 인식하여 직관적인 제스처로 전화번호를 입력하거나 검색할 수 있는 안전한 인터페이스를 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 직관적 동작과 TTS(Text To Speech)를 활용하여 사용자 편의성과 안전성을 높였다.

With dramatic development of IT technology and start of DMB service, installing the DMB equipment in a vehicle for watching TV programs and literal or pictorial traffic information are increasing. Watching the DMB during driving the vehicle could cause visual and cognitive distraction to drivers as much as eating food, operating radio and using mobile phone. However, there is not much empirical research for this topic and no research examined the effect of watching the DMB on driving behaviors in Korea. So, the present study examined the effect of watching the DMB on the driving behaviors with car simulator experiment. Within subject design was used in the study. That is, all subjects drove the vehicle both in the watching DMB condition and the non-watching DMB condition. The results indicated that subjects in the watching DMB condition took longer time to arrive at the destination and operated accelerator and brake pedal rapidly than subjects in the non-watching DMB condition. That is, their overall driving stability was lower than non-watching subjects'. Additionally, we examined the difference among the DMB control conditions (i.e., keypad condition, touch-pad condition and remote controller condition) in the driving behaviors. Finally, we discussed the limitations and the implications of the present study.

The purpose of the study focuses on increasing dangers of using smartphones while driving recently, and then is to come up with measures to reduce traffic accidents caused by using devices like a smartphone. This study conducted a survey of drivers using their smartphones while driving to understand risks caused by using a smartphones while operating vehicles. Results showed that a lot of activities may lead to distracted driving, such as texting, making phone calls, using GPS or road maps, game, etc. In this paper, we presented that functions of smartphone should be controlled partially while driving for safe driving performance. These results suggest that using IoT-based smart devices like a beacon and a smartphone application implemented, tentatively called "Safe driving solution", while driving can reduce traffic accidents. Thus, in order to effectively prevent dangerous driving due to the use of smartphones, a "Safe driving solution" which restricts all functions except for calls and driver assistance functions is suggested.

Navigation system providing route-guidance and traffic information is one of the most widely used driver-support system these days. Most of the navigation system is based on the 2D map paradigm so the information is ed and encoded from the real world. As a result it imposes a cognitive burden to the driver to interpret and translate the ed information to real world information. As a new concept of navigation system, augmented-reality navigation system (AR navigation) is suggested recently. It provides navigational guidance by imposing graphical information on real image captured by camera mounted on a vehicle in real-time. The ultimate goal of navigation system is to assist the driving task with least driving workload whether it is based on the abstracted graphic paradigm or realistic image paradigm. In this paper, we describe the comparative studies on how map navigation and AR navigation affect for driving tasks by experimental research. From the result of this research we obtained a basic knowledge about the two paradigms of navigation systems. On the basis of this knowledge, we are going to find the optimal design of navigation system supporting driving task most effectively, by analyzing characteristics of driving tasks and navigational information from the human-vehicle interface point of view.

Visual demands associated with in-vehicle display usage and text messaging distract a driver's visual attention from the roadway. To minimize eyes-off-the-road demands, voice interaction systems are widely introduced. Under cognitively distracted condition, however, awareness of the operating environment will be degraded although the driver remains oriented to the roadway. It is also know that the risk of inattentive driving varies with age, thus systematic analysis of driving risks is required for the older drivers. This paper aims to understand the age-related driving performance degradation and visual attention changes under auditory cognitive demand which consists of three graded levels of cognitive complexity. In this study, two groups, aged 25-35 and 60-69, engaged in a delayed auditory recall task, so called N-back task, while driving a simulated highway. Comparisons of younger and older drivers' driving performance including mean speed, speed variability and standard deviation of lane position, and gaze dispersion changes, which consist of x-axis and y-axis of visual attention, were conducted. As a result, it was observed that gaze dispersion decreased with each level of demand, demonstrating that these indices can correctly rank order cognitive workload. Moreover, gaze dispersion change patterns were quite consistent in younger and older age groups. Effects were also observed on driving performance measures, but they were subtle, nonlinear, and did not effectively differentiate the levels of cognitive workload.

Driver distraction is a major cause of traffic accidents in Korea. Various measures are being introduced to detect and warn driver distraction. The objective of this research is to investigate changes in driver's physiological signals due to distraction during driving. Driving simulator experiments have been carried out to investigate discrepancy in EEG signals among normal driving, DMB watching during driving, and cellular phone use during driving. Based on the discrepancy, combination of EEG signals have been identfied as candidate variables for detecting driver distraction. Statistical analysis has been carried out to verify their statistical significance.
